Would you like fries with that?

For the record: Old Town Spring, Texas "Historic 1900s Railroad Town" sounds like a lot more fun than it was.

We went on Friday night after all of the shops had closed, so it may be a fun Saturday activity . . . maybe we'll give a whirl some other time. We ate in a restaurant built in 1902, which was pretty cool. Who knows how many old western bar fights there were on the very floor that we ate on?! If movie depictions are somewhat accurate, there were probably at least two fights a night in there : )
We were too hungry before dinner to take a picture before it got dark. 
  When we asked what was good, the waitress said they were known for the burgers, onion rings and chicken fried steak. Allen got the burger with onion rings and fries and I got the steak.

After a couple bites of his burger, Allen realized that there was no burger!
Mmm, mmm good!
We couldn't stop laughing and eventually the waitress came by to see how everything was . . . we stopped laughing long enough to ask for the burger to go in his bun. Her reaction was priceless. With a look that said, I can't believe the guys in the kitchen could be such idiots, she said, "There's no meat? Awesome."

To finish off the evening, we cruised around in our fancy Ford Fiesta, which was the rental we had while my car was being fixed (I got my car back Wednesday afternoon). The video does not do it justice, but we had a little dance party in the car with the color-changing lights. You can't tell how vibrant the 6 or 7 colors are and we didn't find out until later that the lights are standard in most Fords. We thought we got a really special car.


It doesn't look like the video wants to work. Sorry . . .
